Chairman Jerry Groner called the meeting to order. A roll call vote was
taken with the following members present; Chairman Groner, George Stewart,
Harold Feltz, Mary K. Price, Clarence Holdiman, Charles Beaudry and Don Ament.
Also present were Robert Davidson, Dan Kramer, J.T. Johnson, James Hayden and

84.1 - Demetralis Petition - Preannexation Agreement (Rt. 47 & 34)
Chairman Groner stated that Peter Demetralis was requesting annexation to
the city and rezoning of the property to B-2. In addition, a "Package Class"
liquor license for the Y Mart and an additional liquor license "Restaurant Class"
were requested. He stated that Trust 1713 referred to the Y Mart grocery, store
and Trust 1595 referred to the property directly north of the Y Mart including
three parcels totalling 3.87 acres.
City Attorney Dan Kramer stated that Mr. Demetralis had responded to a city
initiated inquiry regarding annexation to the city. He stated that the attorney
for the Demetralis family was unable to attend tonight's meeting but that he
felt Mr. Demetralis would have been present had he known his attorney was unable
to attend. Mayor Davidson stated he felt a representative should have been present
at the meeting and that he did not want to set a precedent. He stated he felt
the plan commission should table the matter until there was representation from
the petitioner present at the meeting.
Mr. Feltz stated that Mr. Demetralis had previously been before the plan
commission regarding rezoning for a proposed restaurant and that the plan
commission-had been enthusiastic regarding annexation of the entire property
at that time.
Mr. Stewart stated that the plan commission had no jurisdiction regarding the
requests for liquor licenses and that this matter would be up to the mayor and
city council. Chairman Groner stated that annexation of this property would benefit
the city by increasing sales tax revenues and by helping to square off the city's
boundaries and that he could see no disadvantages to the city.
Mr. Stewart asked if we would be setting a precedent by granting a liquor
license contingent upon annexation. Mayor Davidson responded that no precedent
would be set.
Mr. Clarage stated that liquor use would be Special Use under B-2 zoning
and that this was not mentioned in the pre-annexation agreement. This should be
rectified in order to dove-tail with the city ordinance.

- 2 - February 1984
Responding to a question from Mr. Feltz, Attorney Kramer stated there would
be no legal prohibition that the plan commission recommend that the city council
go ahead with the pre-annexation agreement.
Mr. Feltz moved to recommend that the city council preceed with the annex-
ation agreement. Seconded by Mr. Holdiman.
Chairman Groner asked if there was any further discussion. It was noted
that the plan commission was an advisory group only and that we felt this was
the highest and best use for the land and that it was conpatible with our plans.
Chairman Groner noted that B-2 zoning was also requested and that there was no
mention made of this in our recommendation. Mr. Feltz then moved to amend his
motion in include granting B-2 zoning (Exhibit A) and B-2 "Special Use" zoning
(Exhibit B) and was seconded by Mr. Beaudry. A roll call vote was taken as
follows on the original and amended motion; Mr. Stewart - yes: Mr. Feltz - yes:
Mrs. Price - yes: Mr. Holdiman - yes: Mr. Beaudry - yes: Mr. Ament - yes:
Mr. Groner - yes. Motion passed.
Mayor Davidson stated that our present ordinances need up-dating and new
ordinances need to be developed. Especially critical are ordinances dealing with
fences and swimming pools. The plan commission could draft an ordinance which
would be sent to the zoning board of appdals, back to the plan commission and
finally to the city council. Mr. Feltz stated that it was a good time to work
on such matters during periods of relative inactivity. Mr. Hayden asked if we
should be working on the second phase of the comprehensive plan. Mr. .ClaKag e
responded that the new board should include a workshop on the comprehensive
plan at the end of each meeting. He will bring workbooks and a more comprehensive
planning map so that levels of commercial, industrial and residential areas
could be further delineated.
It was decided that beginning in March, meetings will be held once a
month on the fourth Tuesday at 7 P.M.
The agenda for the next meeting will include ideas for ordinances regarding
fences and swimming pools as well as review of other city ordinances.
Mr. Beaudry moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Stewart.
All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
